hi Sam,
1. you should not use <script></script> tags in an onclick handler; it calls a
javascript by default.
2. also, where you do use them, try defining your script tags more completely:
<script type="text/javascript"></script>
3. finally, the Jmol.js functions write buttons to the html page. once
written, you can not update them without reloading the page. so if your var
resnum changes on the page, your button scripts will not work as you have them
written now.
instead, try writing a function in the head like this:
<script type="text/javascript">
// initialize resnum:
var resnum = 0;
function incrementResnum() {
// just increment the var resnum.
resnum++;
}
function mySendScript( spt ) {
// update spt with the new value of resnum here.
// this example looks in spt for #resnum
// and replaces it with the current value of resnum:
var my_mod_spt = spt.replace( '#resnum', resnum );
// now send the new spt to jmol:
jmolScript( my_mod_spt );
}
</script>
then your buttons can call mySendScript() and pass it a script like this:
<input type="button" name="button1" id="button1" value="My button"
onclick="mySendScript( 'select #resnum;color green;spacefill 2.0'
);incrementResnum();" />
in this case, incrementResnum() just adds one to the value of resnum after each
button click. just an example, of course.
hth,
tim
